Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, July 28

Day One of Crazy Town Week down, and 5 more to go. I totally flaked out and forgot that I was invited to a neighbor's Swedish Crayfish Party on Sat! My BBFATS emailed me saying that she was looking fwd to seeing me on Sat and I had no clue what she was talking about.

Kids drs appt went... well, it went. Cait is doing well Lyme-wise but has lost 5 lbs since April- which puts her at 88lbs. he wants her to gain 10lbs, which makes *my* Eating Disordered heart drop.:faint2: I would like to see her gain about 5lbs, be comfortable with that and go from there. She doesn't feel like she has ED, (she had in the past) and I see her eat, albeit not as much as I would like. I don't see her using the tricks- like pushing food around etc. Believe me, I know those signs. My mom- I guess from experience with me, talked to her for a long time about it, and gave her some tips on how to add in calories w/o really noticing. Smart woman, my mom.
She is off of abx now (yay!!!) and will stay on some supplements to keep her immune system working well. We have done several times with her, so all my my fingers and toes are crossed that this time it is for good.

Scott is also off abx- he is taking a break from them and will see how he does. He is also on supplements to boost the immune system, and is still on anti-virals.

I got blood work results back yesterday too- and my Rheum factor is getting higher. yuck. i guess that explains why I ache all of the time *winks*

Today, I have to bring my baby in to get spayed. Poor girl!! Then food shopping. The fun never ends! ound:

HHH weather in NJ- so I won't be going to the lake today. I think the sun will be too much for me with the meds that make me sun-sensitive and the heat will be too much since I can't go in the water to cool off.

But that means I get scrap time! :cheer2:

I hope that everyone has a wonderful and happy day!!

Sharon- I am so glad that you posted, I would have thought that I said something to offend.
Or maybe everybody was off drunk-stilt-walking??? hahaha!!!

12 hours babysitting would do anyone in! Awesome news about her standing, she'll get there.
25 laps!!!!! that is wonderful!!! I know I have said it before, but I am so proud of you!!!

Hugs to all of you who stop by!

Hi good morning - yesterday was crazy. First I had to fast and have blood drawn for my yearly physical. She was very nice but it took her twice to find a vein. But it was done fast and I was home. Then I ended up talking a lot with my son and then I realized I had to go to the grocery store. Which as you all know is my least favorite thing to do. But I was fast and got it done and home and by then I just forgot to come. I got sucked into the the Girl with the Dragon tattoo trilogy. He was an amazing author. So that is now done and now I am back. I have to walk and will as soon as this is done as it is a Chris said HHH in NJ and will be a heat wave as the temps are to be 90 or above until next week. I went out to dinner last night with my girlfriend and in ordering for my son's and DH take out I mistakenly added beans to his Chipolte. OMgosh you would think I did it on purpose. I know he does not like beans but I think I just can't believe it so I just done think about it. Well he ranted and railed about out how I could forget such a thing. And how many times he had told me this. LOL. Finally I had had enough and began pointing out just how many times I had mentioned to him things I disliked. It was too funny to see him start to realize just how silly he sounded. It was me seeing him grow up in real time. He took a step back and apologized. He then told it was a stressful day at work and then he tried to do a good thing for his girlfriend's birthday and how the store had given him the run around. He ordered from Norstroms' a necklace for pick up. They sent him a text to say he could pick up his order. Well he went after work and the pick up center closed at 7pm. They sent the email after 7pm tell him it was ready for pick. He said ok then he would cancel the order and just take on at the store as the store did not close until 9pm. Well they did not have any more in stock. He said its right there in the pick. He then called for the manager and the manager would not give it to him either. So he now needs me to get it for him. LOL. At first he wanted me to bring to his work but he realized he did not need that as it was only Tuesday and he had time to get it mailed. Kids.

Chris your day sounds like but the results seem pretty good. And yes 88 lbs is too skinny. She works in a pizza place and I know me I would be sampling the goodies. Glad they are both off abx for a while. Relax today and scrap.

Sharon wow 12 hrs with Clara that would be tiring. But she sure is a cutie! My sister was baby sitting her granddaughter and dropping her off at her baby sitter and when she tired her DGD cried and of course as the grandmother she gave in and did not make her go. The joys of being the grandmother. Have fun with your dinner guests. I know you will have wonderful menus planned.

Have a great day all!

Chris, glad to hear good reports from the doc. appts. As to Cait's weight, I'm in a totally different universe. I would be alarmed if one of my teen kids was that thin, even at her height. =:O

Glad your BFFATS reminded you of the Saturday do!

Oh Nancy. Your son's rant sounds totally like a guy who had a bad day at work. My DH usually orders for us when we go for fast food burgers. I snag a table and get the napkins, ketchup, etc. He knows what I like, but EVERY TIME I have to remind him to ask for NO PICKLES OR ONIONS on mine! If I don't remind him, I get pickles and onions! LOL We have been married over 46 years!

I do sympathize with his gift problem. The doll I "won" on ebay has still not arrived! It is now over a week past the projected delivery date. I contacted the seller last night, and now have to wait for a reply. I don't want a refund--I want the doll!

Costco later this morning for us...food for tonight and tomorrow.

Carry on!

I seem to have been out of it here for a while, sorry. Some days just can't write anything. Getting hot today but it has been wonderful. Will go see sister soon. No chemo till next week but she did get an MRI yesterday. We have a bird bath with a dripper, but its stand wore out. Now DH has a new set up for it and yesterday an oriole got to use it while we watched in delight.

Chris, I'm like Sharron on the weight reaction. Sounds like your mother has the right ideas for Cait though. Hope you get in that scrapping today, you do beautiful pages.

Nancy, the guys in one's life can be something else, eh. Hope you're keeping cool today.

Sharron, I missed your 12-hour stint with Clara, but the comments sound like it was good but maybe tiring. You are a wonder and inspiration with the swimming.

Hope it's a good day for all.

Jonah is now here and yesterday we all went to the Pacific Northwest Raptors a great place to get up close and personal with the predators of the sky! Having a wonderful time and with the weather getting really warm again this week, we have lots of places to see and lots of swimming to do! Well better get packed for the beach, have a wonderful week my O family!! :wave:
